Ed Crompton reviewed What money can't buy by Michael J. Sandel
Review of "What money can't buy" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A great arsenal of reason against the push against the free market ideology and why some things shouldn't be monetised. Exposes the contradictions in the defences of the free market that you might hear in a plain and straightforward way. Like all excellent explanations, once you've read it, it seems as though it was always obvious.
However, I couldn't help comparing it slightly to Justice, the only other book of Sandel's I've read. This seems to lack some of the strong narrative and build-up of an argument that Justice has. In both books, what stands out for me about Sandel is his ability to be plain and strong in his convictions whilst never seeming opinionated or dismissive of alternative arguments.
